Looking for someone to love me And now I'm looking for someone to love me My drama, my karma My love my life, dear drama The war's I've fought, scars that I've garnered The hustle, I got that honest from my father Mix me with violence, blend me with peace Combine me with hate and I can't face defeat (nope) I did it all in a week Still incomplete as I stand on my feet It take a lot to still dance to the beat Skin more cold and callous than concrete I love swimming but there's just one ski In a rich man's hotel with bed sheets Uh ah, you know what I'm looking for Looking for someone to love me And now I'm looking for someone to love me When you ain't got dough, you scratch and you crawl In you state of mind, you want somethin', ay you want it all Look at the sky wonder when its gon' fall Cry in the rain so the pain is stalled Its too dark, my World is in doom Just cold, my soul howls at the moon My mind spins, my sins crowd the room My heart don't beat it just skips out of tune I can't even hold down food I'm so rude Bad attitude, what point I got to prove Sometimes to win something you gotta lose Love a int there my is just bruise Looking for someone to love me And now I'm looking for someone to love me I'm impatient, I'm so vacant I'm so real with myself, I'm so blatant I thirst more, I'm far from complacent Always placing my heart last I'm paper chasing Left craving the warmth of one touch So whats money if you never had enough I'm disgusted, people say I'm not to be trusted Insomnia driven, my eyes crusted So come and save my life if you can muster up Enough strength to show me how to love somebody besides myself I crave comfort, stars may align just right for us, start a new life for us Build a fortress beyond coffins Rembrandt, we paint our soulmates portraits Come one you know just what I'm looking for Looking for someone to love me And now I'm looking for someone to love me
